Win or lose, watch this guy if you haven't. Obviously we want both, but I think he's better than McGregor and we are lucky to have this kind of edge rusher.

I also think the German kid will be a starting SDE for us:

Not sure how we can compare the two when they will be playing different positions. It’s like asking who’s better, Okwara or Kareem?

IDK that that's true. If you ask McGregor, he thinks Jordan is a LB and he (McGregor) will be playing WDE.

But you're right, they should play different positions. Jodan, Colorado, Millis, and McGregor (with German kid being a 5 year player) just makes too much sense. But we know how fluid positions are, and McGregor has voiced his expectations as to what position he'll play.

If McGregor’s weight is close to accurate, there’s no little doubt in my mind that he’ll play college ball around 270. And I thought there were multiple reports that Jordan was a WDE all the way.

After Jordan committed, there was an ISD article on McGregor and he was quoted saying something along the lines as he wasn't sure how that would work since they'd play the same position, but he spoke to the ND coaches and they said Jordan would play more LB and Braiden at the drop.

That was ~ a month ago. Maybe there's been more recent info, but that was the last I heard from Braiden's mouth.

But you're right - perception isn't reality, and he'll likely be the SDE regardless of where he goes just due to natural size.

I'm putting my crystal future ball cast in for scUM.

Question is...he chooses Michigan, they then shit the bed next fall and he decommits. Do you take him then?

 

[greyhammer90]

If McGregor chooses Irish, I will drink some wine and eat pasta.

Easy fella. I'll probably grab dinner with the wife. #madlads

If McGregor picks the Irish its Netflix and some patriotic beer ALL NIGHT until about 11.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Fours before his commitment and no one seems to have a clue. Bravo, Braiden.

 

[irish4ever]

I know this has to be sarcasm, but even if the guy was a 2 star and Michigan wanted him but he spurned them for us; I would be elated. Muck Fichigan.

I ditto that!!!

 

[Henges24]

I’ll shotgun two beers if he commits to the Irish.

I will even attempt to upload a video.

Fvck Michigan.

 

[irish o'phile]

I am thinking Florida. He said he is going to surprise people and he is coming off their visit. Also, he seems like he may be a little impulsive and capable of an emotion based decision based on his nearly committing to ND on his visit.

Sparty. You read it here first.

He's got a chip on his shoulder?

I doubt the staff will stop recruiting him no matter what, so definite yes in this scenario.

Let's get it rolling..

 

[Blazers46]

Can we view this announcement and when is it happening... I have been away from the computer all day its getting to be dinner time.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Well???? We're waiting.....

 

[IrishFaninTX]

Well???? We're waiting.....

I didn't think it was until 7:00

 

[Blazers46]

Watchable?

This is more suspenseful than the final season of GOT. Thanks Braiden!

 

[Blazers46]

I think if picks UM this could be one of the most over-hyped and over-analyzed decisions.... surprise... I picked the school I live down the road from.

Hope the ending is better.

 

[jspags10pg]

Braiden is the biggest want for me in this class and has been for some time. He has the athleticism to be a huge DROP end but also the size to be an extremely athletic SDE. Dude can play either. Maybe the staff has a preference but I'm certain he could play either at a very high level.

I don't put much stock in those Opening testing numbers...watch his tape and watch his basketball clips also. He's a very good athlete for his size. Well, he's a very good athlete at any size but especially at 6'5" plus, and 250ish lbs.

Wherever he ends up...he's gonna be really good.

 

[greyhammer90]

FWIW the Michigan board on 24/7 is saying that they don't know, but all other teams he's been in talks with think it's Michigan.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

So we're 30 mins away? Is he on eastern time?
